    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    I’ve bought and sold over a dozen firearms (and about as many accoutrements) on this forum with nary an issue, Wayne. I’ve also shared screenshots depicting my A+ rating on both eBay and Gun Broker (355 and 44 transactions, respectively). I could issue the same warning to others about dealing...

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    Whatever, dude. Go fly a kite or pound sand— that’d be more constructive than leaving your inane comments here. It seems you may have overlooked the fact that I have previously purchased two rifles from Wayne. I expected some of his friends to come out of the woodwork and defend him, but that...

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    Are you seriously that dense? I’m upset over the fact that Wayne continues to refuse to acknowledge the inclusion and/or crack that is clearly visible forward of the lock, brushing it off as a “piece of lint”, all the while painting myself as a difficult and troublesome person. I wasn’t born...

    3F powder vs. 2F in .54cal flintlock rifle

    Impressive! I just bought myself a Caldwell Lead Sled DFT 2 yesterday and I’m looking forward to getting out and doing some load testing. I’ve got a couple Richard Miller rifles that need sighting in.

    You’re wrong, Johnny. I didn’t use my PayPal balance; I used a debit card. I never initiated a balance transfer— the funds were sent back to my original method of payment. However you want to slice it, I haven’t yet received the refund. I’m not contesting that Wayne didn’t issue it… only that...

    It seems you’ve missed the point of my post. This wasn’t about someone simply “changing their mind.” It was about an instance of unethical behavior that I felt others in the community should be aware of. I believe transparency is important to help maintain the integrity of this forum. As for...

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    For clarity, I previously received a temporary ban due to a situation where I was sold two pistols on this forum that were advertised as “new” but had hidden cracks. I gave the seller an opportunity to make it right, but they refused. When I reached out to the moderators for help, they declined...

    I merely decided to change my username. There’s no specific rhyme or reason other than feeling it was time for a change, with a touch of self-deprecating humor. If there are any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to the administrator for clarification. P.S. The Russo rifle is...

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    And your responses to me were so much more tactful, eh? Funny… you’ve sold two other rifles to me in the past, but I’m suddenly too stupid to be trusted with a firearm. I’m sorry if I refuse to buy this (obviously contrived) story about you giving your friend a rifle out of the kindness of...

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    There’s one problem here, Wayne, as you continue to maintain that there was no inclusion or crack forward of the lock… it’s still visible in the picture you sent to me after I brought it to your attention! If it was merely a piece of lint, why not brush it away?

    Who among us are PIPE smokers?

    A little glass of Southern Comfort and Pastor’s blend in my “Auld Erin” (probably a Peterson second) is my guilty pleasure.

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    I know the seller got a discount for buying Kibler “seconds” in bulk. I have absolutely no idea what sort of deal he gets, but I’d imagine it’s probably in the vicinity of a couple hundred dollars or more. If there was a flaw in the Woodsrunner (my first purchase from him), I certainly couldn’t...

    Seeking Opinions on a Recent Kibler SMR Purchase Experience

    That’s a good question. I don’t believe I would, given what’s come to light. I’m not particularly anal about cosmetic issues, but when it comes to structural problems, I’d just as soon spare myself the headache.

    3F powder vs. 2F in .54cal flintlock rifle

    Thanks for chiming in. I got a couple of bottles of 1.5F to try in a Caywood that had a huge touch hole and was actually dribbling powder from the main charge during the loading process when using 3F. I sold the gun before I ever actually had a chance to try it and see if that would resolve my...

    Absolutely! That’s an excellent example of standing by your work and maintaining integrity. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them can make all the difference. It’s clear that your customers value not just the quality of your craftsmanship but the honesty and responsibility you show when...

    Thank you, Alex. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks there was something rotten in the state of Denmark. I figured there’d be some differing opinions on this matter, but I certainly never expected the level of irrationality or belligerency as exhibited by this guy. What a piece of work!
